Item Category usage & Main Item Category(Transaction Process)
Hi Friends,
Can you help me to know the details of Item Category usage & Main Item Category in Transaction Process.
I couldn't able to find the usage of these, while we are assigning Transaction type, Item category group, Item category usage & Main item to the Item category determination, the system is taking Transaction type data from Leading transaction type & Item category group from Product master data, then what is the use of Item category usage & Main item, where we need to maintain these details in system, Is it mandatory?, How come we know this is mandatory while doing configuration?..........
Can you let me know the use of Item Category usage & Main Item Category in Transaction Process.
Thanks & Regards.......
Arun
Hi Arun,
Item category usage is mailnly used for text items not for products..
its not all mandatory.
In item category determination only Transaction type, Item category Group and Item category is mandatory,
The main item category is necessary only when ur lower level item is dependent on ur higher level item.
For more Info read the documentation in SPRO.

Sub-items settled to main items in Sales Order
Guys,
There is a business requirement that all cost and revenue in sub-items are settled to main item in a sales order.
Is there a standard SAP solution for this?
Thanks in advance
Cheers,
JimHello
The material 'item category group' = ERLA ,pricing is only for the main item
if 'item category group' = LUMF, then pricing takes place only on subitems.
so you will have to influence the 'item category group'.
There is also another factor, for e.g."Item category TAN" does not support explosion of BOM, this is because 'STRUCTURE SCOPE FIELD' is blank..You need to check this , and for this you need to access SPRO, which in your case, as I understand, is a limitation. In other words, you need to check this field for ZTAC (it may be empty).
Hope this helps. -
How to add new line item based on main item using crm_order_maintain
Hi All,
can you please provide a way to create a new line item based on main line item and save in crm transaction( in house repair order) by using crm_order_maintain(from SAP GUI).
Thanks,
vinod.Hi Vinod,
The relationship with main item is stored with CRMD_ORDERADM_I- Parent.
You need to pass the guid of main item to orderadm_i-parent. This will keep the relationship with main item.
Thanks

How can i find item category usage in abap program
HI, EXPERTS
I HEARD USAGE MAINTAINED IN ABAP PROGRAM .
ANY ONE KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND ABAP PROGRAM FOR ITEM CATEGORY USAGE??
THANKS.^
Edited by: jong seok Lee on Feb 2, 2010 10:01 AMHi,
Item Category Usage: An item categories usage is defined by SAP when creating a sales order, The system determines for example, that the usage refers to a text item as oppossed to a deliverable item when you enter text in the order item rather than a material number. Based on this usage, the system will use the item category determination to propose an item category.
You can also find the usage in Custoemer material info record (T.Code VD51), if you want to determine any customer specific item category you may use the usage field in Custoemr master info record.
You can devlop an user exit to determine the item category based upon usage field as well.

How to make plant default on the line item along with the item category
Hi All,
I want to default Plant on the line item along with the item category.In order to meet the following scnario.
1. I have two plants,first plant is maintained for the valuated item and the second plant is maintained for the non valuated item (Free Goods).
Whenever user is entering an item in the sales order for which corresponding free goods item is maintained in the master record.System is proposing two lines items in the sales order.
First line item is the main item which appears along with the Plant 1 which contains valuated items
Second line item is for the Free of charge item which is being proposed from Plant 2, which contains the non valuated items.
I want that the system should always propose Plant 1 with main item and Plant 2 with the Free of Charge item by default. (Along with the item category TAN and TANN)
RahulDelivering Plant is determined in the following order
1. Customer material info record.
2. Customer master
3. Material master.
Use one of them an default your plant.
I think in your case you can use the materila master which will give an item level plant different. The other two will default the plant at the header level.

How to copy billing plan details of main item to all its sub-items...
In the sales order, we have main item and sub-items. The main item is a project item and it has a billing plan which gets copied from the project. Now the requirement is to copy the same billing plan(of the mainitem) to all its subitems- billing dates, billing type, billing rule, date category, percentage of the amount to be billed, etc. So that when we do billing for this sales order all the items and its sub items are copied in the milestone billing document.
The billing plan is not at header level since the sales order can have multiple project items and their milestones can differ.
Please suggest how to acheive this- coping of billing plan details from main item to all the subitems.

Material exchane ,copy pricing and conditions from main item to sub item.
Hi All,
We are using parts exchange/interchangeability in the transaction ME22N,
While using ME22N we are exchanging main item with interchangeable part and while doing so we want to copy pricing and conditions from main item to sub item.
But its not happening.
As per sap help its possible, details describe below.

Price Determination by Copying from Main Item
In the case of price determination by copying from the main item, the net price of the originally ordered part is still used for the superseding part in a part exchange.
The system copies all conditions from the main item to all sub-items and takes into account the order quantity for the main item when calculating scale prices. It does not take into account the conditions and scale prices that exist for the interchangeable part.
You cannot change the conditions, which have been copied from the main item, at sub-item level. It is possible, however, to define additional conditions for each sub-item.
Prerequisites
A calculation schema, which can be altered on an individual basis in Customizing, has been supplied for the price determination.
In the vendor master record, you have set the schema group 09 (interchangeable material).
But in customizing I didnu2019t find value 09 for schema group .
Can any buddy through some light on missing pieces which need to be set?
Thanks

Can you check few more things and tell me?
- In this exit, does XVBPA and XVBAP contains all the line items. ( main and sub items ).
- In Sales order creation time, do these table have VBELN populated when this exit triggers.
- If you modify XVBPA or XVBAP in this exit, do they get overwritten after that.
Try this code. See if it works. Let me know if you still have a problem.
DATA: wa_hvbpa LIKE vbpa,
wa_xvbpa like vbpa.
CLEAR: wa_hvbpa, wa_xvbpa.
* check if HVBAP and VBAP line items are not same
IF vbap-posnr <> hvbap-posnr.
* read the ****-to partner from main-item
READ TABLE xvbpa INTO wa_hvbpa WITH KEY posnr = hvbap-posnr
parvw = 'WE'.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
* read the line item data for sub-item based on main item
READ TABLE xvbap WITH KEY posnr = vbap-posnr
uepos = hvbap-posnr.
* See if current line is the child of that BoM parent
IF sy-subrc = 0.

Main item and Hierarchy level items in SAP EWM
We use ERP SAP AFS and EWM 9.1
ERP sales order 20000 - 5PCS ( Different grid values chosen and delivery is distrubuted to EWM)
Outbound delivery order contains main item and corresponding SKU displayed with Grid values like Color, Cup and Size. (Hierarchy Level)
20000
20000-0001A30
20000-0001A32
20000-0001C34
20000-0001B36
20000-0001D38
We create Warehouse tasks for SKU items ( Items 60,70,80,90,100) for picking.
I need to process VAS activites for this.
Price labeling and putting on plastic bag for all SKU's ( 2 VAS activity).
I have maintained packaging specification and tried to process it.
But here I get an error in VAS order. Because WR Qty from ODO to VAS order is not copied. It is getting deleted at the time of VAS order creation.
Then I tried to maintain the packaging specification for item 20000 (main item) and process the VAS order. Here VAS order got created and WR Qty also displayed.
But Picking Warehouse tasks are created for SKU items not for main items. In this case I am not able to process it also.
Packaging specification for main item or SKU item I should consider? If it is for SKU , need to have lot of master data. Is there any link i can make maintaining packspec for main item and process the warehouse tasks for SKU.
Which way i have to go now?
Any suggestion please
Please ask me if you need more inputsHi Jobi,
I agree to Juergen, you'll need individual pack specs per subitem in order to process VAS on this level. Did you think of using batches and depending characteristics for the grid values? This is how EWM for Fashion works. Then you could define only VAS pack spec for multiple grid values.
Best regards,
Christian
Remark: did you consider EWM for Fashion for your implementation? -
Copy down Ship-to Partner from main item to sub-items on Sales Order
This is my first post on the forums here. I'd appreciate any help you can give on my issue below.
I have a requirement to copy down the ship-to partner from the main item to sub-items during sales order create or change. Currently I have code in include MV45AFZB within user exit USEREXIT_FILL_VBAP_FROM_HVBAP as follows:
<i>* Need to be able to copy the ship-to of a BoM parent down to the
respective BoM children if the parent has a different ship-to
from the header.
data: wa_xvbpa like vbpa.
Clear: wa_xvbpa.
read table xvbpa into wa_xvbpa with key posnr = hvbap-posnr
parvw = 'WE'.
A BoM parent line has a different ship-to from the header.
if sy-subrc = 0.
read table xvbap with key uepos = hvbap-posnr.
See if current line is the child of that BoM parent
If xvbap-uepos = hvbap-posnr.
move wa_xvbpa-kunnr to xvbpa-kunnr.
move xvbap-vbeln to wa_xvbpa-vbeln.
move xvbap-posnr to wa_xvbpa-posnr.
move 'WE' to wa_xvbpa-parvw.
modify vbpa from wa_xvbpa.
endif.
Endif.</i>
This isn't working for me. At one point, I was able to copy the ship-to down to the first sub-item but not any subsequent ones. I'm sure I need to add some code to another sales order user exit to get this to work, but I'm at a loss at this point. Has anyone had to do this or something similar before?
Thanks very much in advance for your help.

Usages In Item Category Determination
Dear Friends,
Usages is one of element to determine the Item category. Would any one tell me what is it?
why it is required?
what is effect in business transaction process.
Regards
arunHi Arun,
Usually a quick search for your question would probably uncover a lot of similar questions with answers. You're supposed to post a question only if your answer is still not answered.
In any case, the answer to your question is not straighforward. Yes, the usage does determine the Item category (along with the item category group and sales document), but it is not something you can control.
Usage SENI and SEIN for instance are used for sales document type DR. When you create a sales document of type DR via resource related billing (DP90) it uses one type of usage (SENI or SEIN, can't remember), while when you create the same sales document type directly in VA01 you get the other type. I don't remember whether it's SENI or SEIN in each situation, but the point is that the type of usage is determined by the system and there's nothing you can do to manipulate it.
The only thing you can do is to play around with item category determination config to see what usage is used in each case. The way I went about it was to start with only one entry in the config, for instance:
Sales doc type: DR
Item category group: 0002
Usage: blank
Default item category: L2N
Then try creating your sales document. If you get an error in Item category determination then you know something's wrong with that rule. Read the message and try to correct the entry in the table. Usually the error tells you exactly what you're missing. If for instance the message tells you that there is no entry in the table for the combination DR 0002 SENI, then you know that the system uses item usage SENI in your example and you need to ammend the entry in the table to:
Sales doc type: DR
Item category group: 0002
Usage: SENI
Default item category: L2N
That I think is the only way to understand the Item Usage
cheers

User Exits for Item Category Determination based on Item Category Usage
Hi Gurus,
If I need to create a new item category usage code and perform item category determination using the new item category usage code, is there a user exit or function module which is able to perform this?
Thanks & RegardsHi Lawrence Tam,
If you are going to create a new item category usage to determine an item category, you need to add a new line in transaction VOV4 for the new combination of sales document type + Item Cat. group + usage + high leve item cat. to determine the item category.
Thanks in advance,

Item Category determination using item usage
Hi All,
We have a scenario where we need to derive item category based on Item usage.
We have defined a function module to derive at the item usage. Now we need to derive the item category based on this usage.
We were able to do this and we are able to get the default item category for this. We have assigned few manual item categories also along with default.
When we try to change the item category manually it is again resetting it to default item category.
ex: OR LEIS A -> Tan X Y (Where A is the usage,X and Y are manual item categories, OR is order typea nd LEIS is item category group)
To expalin clearly the above Tan is getting determined as default correctly bit when we try to change it ti X it is not accepting.
It is allowing to enter X and Y manually only if we have another entry above similar to this:
OR LEIS -> Tan X Y (Without usage).
Now we dont want the entry without usage.
In debugging we noticed that usage field (VWPOS ) is blank.
We understand that there is one function midule SD_VBAP_VWPOS_GET which derives usage for free goods,CMIR, repair items etc adn we are nto sure where they are calling this FM to so that the system determines item category based on usage.
Cna anybody help on this please.
Regards
BashaHi Raghu,
you understading is correct.
The purpose of using the usage in our scenario is to overcome the extra entry i.e without usage.
We are deriving the usage but we are not sure where to call the Z function module so taht system will directly go to:
Slaes doc type+ item category group+ Usage -
> IC
with out checking for entry sales doc type+ item category -
> IC (in VOV4).
The main purpose of using usage here is that system should directly go to the place where usage is used.
It works fine when we go for CMIR and assign usage there but CMIR is not allowed.
Please help.

Item Usage in Item Category Determination?
What is Item Usage in Item Category Determiantion?
Hi Farhan,
Usage field will tell what is the purpose of Particular Material
Example
FREE: For free goods Material
CHSP: Batch Items
TEXT: Text Materilals..etc
Item Category Usage: It controls system response during document processing. The line item has an specific usage according to that usage it has to respond. Free for free items, text for text items etc.
Usage field will covney the material details.
The usage field tells whether it is related to the higher level of item category. and how that material given usage should behave in the partifular sales order line item. for example in free goods we give this usage as free and in text items and in material determination and in BOMS. u can also view this in CMIR.
Item category Determination: Sales Document type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category
TA + NORM + FREE + TAN = TANN
Hope this will solve your problem.
Reward Pts if it solve your problem.
Thx & Regards,

Usage in Item category determination
Hi friends,
In delivery item category determination there will be in field called "Usage" . Delivery type will be coming from delivery document type, Item category group will be coming from material master. In the same way where from this Usage data will be coming. How come the system knows which is FREE, CHSP, Etc??
Can anyone explain me in detail please.
Ratna KumarHi ramarao
Spro --> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Item --> Define Item Category Usage
Item usage controls how the item category should behave during a document processing. Item usage controls the usage of the item. Item usage tells wheather it is a text item , free item , product selection item etc
We can maintain Item usage feild at CMIR also
